WASHINGTON — The U.S Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy today announced that it is kicking off an ambitious new initiative to secure the nation’s nuclear fuel supply chain.
Through the Defense Production Act (DPA) Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium, the federal government will work with the domestic nuclear industry to ensure that the United States continues to have enough nuclear fuel to power the current nuclear reactor fleet as well as future advanced reactors.
Comprised of representatives from more than 90 companies spanning the nuclear industrial base, the initiative will address all facets of the nuclear fuel supply chain including milling, conversion, enrichment, deconversion, fabrication, recycling, and reprocessing.
Today, the Consortium shared that it will focus its efforts on three goals to support the nuclear energy sector under the “Nuclear Dominance — 3 by 33” campaign.
